In 1999, Jack Ma and 18 other partners from different backgrounds founded Alibaba. But at the beginning of its establishment, Alibaba was in dire straits, with a major weakness being the lack of investment. After joining as a former senior executive at Goldman Sachs, Cai Chongxin successfully secured financing through his network, helping Alibaba secure a Series A financing of $5 million on December 1, 1999. This investment is led by Goldman Sachs Group.

Many people believe that without Cai Chongxin, Alibaba would not survive the Internet foam at the turn of the century, let alone become a company for 102 years.
As a fundraising expert, Cai Chongxin is commonly referred to as the God of Wealth of Alibaba. Simply put, to describe Cai Chongxin, it means "being able to increase capital and afford investment."
Looking back at Alibaba's entrepreneurial journey, Cai Chongxin conducted a total of four capital increases. Almost always trying to turn the tide.
Alibaba's first financing was obtained through Cai Chongxin.
